Dimensions of EL Literacy Education: Lessons from Small-Group Monolingual and Bilingual Reading Instruction

Thu, December 1, 1:15 to 2:45pm, Omni Nashville, Floor: Level 4, Bass

Session Submission Type: Symposium

Abstract

This symposium examines dimensions of small-group reading interventions for English learners (ELs) through the work of three research teams from three universities. Research on reading instruction responsive to ELs’ needs is limited, and teacher capacity for such instruction is equally limited. We examine three instructional dimensions: building monolingual teachers’ capacity for multilingual pedagogy, leveraging ELs’ metalinguistic insights to develop effective curriculum, and scaffolding ELs’ access to complex texts.
